Assistive Technologies Learning Curve: Real Lived Experiences | Upcoming Webinar

For many people with disabilities, assistive technologies (AT) are essential for navigating the digital world. However, the work that goes into becoming fluent with screen readers, magnifiers, voice input, switch devices, and other AT is usually invisible.

Even for native users of AT, learning never truly stops: software updates, interfaces shift, and new devices and technologies crop up. All this leaves users with the burden to constantly adapt to a relentlessly changing world.

We’ll shed light on the extra time, effort, and cognitive load people with disabilities unfairly expend to navigate spaces that should be accessible by default.

Join us on January 29, 2026, at 2 PM EST as we explore:

• What the real AT learning curve looks like for everyday users
• How long-term users adapt as technology evolves
• Tips for AT testers
• How inaccessible design increases the disability tax, and how organizations can avoid it

Bring any accessibility-related questions, experiences, and thoughts. We look forward to welcoming you!
